Gunsmithing CZ 527 Houston

[el_cazador713]

Hi Folks,

Recently joined and have been lurking around this awesome board reading the wealth of knowledge on long range, rifles, optics, etc.. Though this isn't long range, I have a CZ 527 that needs to be bedded. Do you guys have any recommendations for a gunsmith in Houston that does CZ work? Appreciate the replies and look forward to participating on here more!

Bedding is not brand specific. Anyone who does bedding can help you.

You can do it yourself with a blob of epoxy, some shoe polish/wax, some tape and an X-acto knife. There's a lot of videos out there if you have the time. I did my 527 a few weeks ago. Seems to shoot fine:

Great looking group!! Did you pillar bed as well?

Nope. Just lightly sanded the barrel channel to free-float it, used a few wraps of tape around the barrel at the tip of the fore-end to center it all up, added a thin plastic shim to the rear of the action, taped-off where I didn't want glue, roughed-up the wood, waxed the metal after removing the trigger group, applied goo to both the stock and the action, stuck-them together and let it set a few hours in the sun. Trimmed off the extra when it was still 'leather hard,' and voila:

I also installed/bedded the bipod mount at the same time but anyone with a screwdriver and some screws can do that. If it didn't shoot then I was going to hog out the bedding and pillar it, but it does not appear that it's required. I can't wait 'til the Spring when I can go pop some prairie dogs, water-filled beer cans will have to do until then.
